HUNTSVILLE, Ala — Yes, fishing is a sport, and Major League Fishing is a professional fishing league with a season as long as NASCAR's. In 2024, competition starts in February and ends in November, and Scottsboro, Cullman, and Huntsville are hosting events.
“We’re thrilled to announce the 2024 Toyota Series schedule to competitors and fans and feel confident that we’re hitting some of the best fisheries in the country at great times of the year,” said Mark McWha, MLF Tournament Director. “We’re looking forward to seeing some really big weights at some of these events and are anticipating a great 2024 season.”
First up is the tournament in Scottsboro in Lake Guntersville from February 14-16. Next is Smith Lake in Cullman from April 4-6. And finally, the Toyota Series Championship from Nov. 7-9 at Ditto Landing in Huntsville.
“Located in the heart of bass fishing, we’re proud to host the Toyota Series Championship in Huntsville at Ditto Landing,” said Mac McCutcheon, Madison County Commission Chairman. “We look forward to welcoming the competitors to our area and providing a memorable championship experience on the Tennessee River.”
